Server logical address space is running low

Hello,

Once a week now I am getting on a 3 weeks old server the message:SERVER-5.70-3707[nmID=120004]Server logical address space is running low. Increase the availablelogical space by restarting the server with the -u788197376 switch.

I am running NW6.5 SP4a, and I would like to confirm that this is not a bug.According to informaion I found on the web, I am supposed to edit myautoexec.bat andadd -u788197376 after the call to server.exe.

The message itself is cosmetic - to an extent - but when you'rereceiving it, it means the server is trying to retune memory, and hasgenerally gone as far as it can in what it thinks is "appropriate"tuning - and often its not appropriate.

Can you load seg.nlm, and get a copy of the segstats.txt for the server(load seg, then from the seg main screen '/' -> Info -> Write Segstats)then post that here.

Also, Can you do a "load config /all" from the server, then post theresulting sys:system\config.txt, after removing the file listing thatoccurs after the set commands, and any sensitive infomation- eg serialnumber, public IP addresses, snmp community strings, remote accesspasswords etc.

Re: Server logical address space is running low

Hamish,

VOL1 and VOL2 are sharing the same pool, would that explain the "more freespace than the size of the volume"?>This may be the version of config.nlm you're usingI used the "Report/Log files" in NorM to generate the config file. Itprobably explained the discrepency. When I use the volume statistics fromWinXP, SYS shows 10GB with 7.9 free, VOL1 & VOL2 show the same free space(112GB) but different total space (since used space is different).I'll submit a new config.txt created by the nlm and not by NorM .>You're running CIFS and NFS - if not using them, comment them outI thought CIFS was already commented out! Does it show loaded somewhere?

Thank you.

Eric.

Re: Server logical address space is running low

I think the new config.txt looks a little better, at least when it comes tovolume space and entries used.

Thank you for your help.

Eric.

Re: Server logical address space is running low

Great...I didn't change the settings yet, I wanted to see if I had a pattern for themessage. The server had been running for 12 days without giving me the"Server logical address space is running low" message, until I had toshutdown the server yesterday because an electrical problem.

Thanks a lot.

Eric.
